Chris Chiu, Leo Burnett Singapore's CEO and Chief Creative Officer will be Jury President of Promo Lotus and Effective Lotus at Adfest 2016. Adfest 2016 will run over four days from March 16 to March 19 at the Royal Cliff Hotels Group in Pattaya, Thailand.

“I'm looking forward to leading these two categories at Adfest this year. There are some incredibly exciting Promo ideas being created in this region. As for Effective Lotus, some might say this is the most important category of any awards shows because it demonstrates the value of what we creative professionals do. I'm curious to see who this year's winners will be as they are setting the benchmark for the entire industry,” said Chiu.

Chiu had successful agency stints with JWT, DY&R, Batey Ads, Impiric and Ren Partnership before joining Leo Burnett 12 years ago. At Leo Burnett he has been based in the Singapore, Jakarta and Bangkok offices, returning to Leo Burnett Singapore in April 2015.

“It is great to have Chris join our illustrious panel of jury presidents. He is an industry veteran who has judged at all the world's major awards shows, and I know he brings this expertise and more to Adfest this year,” said Jimmy Lam, Adfest President.

In 2009, Chiu was named Creative Director of the Year at the Singapore Hall of Fame Awards and in 2011 was listed among the Top 30 Creative Directors in the Asia-Pacific by Campaign Asia. Through the years, he has created work that has won Gold at Cannes, One Show, Adfest, Golden Drum and Spikes Asia, to name a few key festivals.
